Thyroid and heart: As T4 increases, your heart pumps faster and with greater force. Some people are very sensitive to this and hear/feel their heart and this can be bothersome. Some heart conditions, eg mitral prolapse, can exacerbate this. If you were recently started on thyroid replacement for hypo, you should make sure you are not on too much. Talk to your doctor.

Rushing heart beat: Are you taking any thyroid replacement for your hypothyroidism? If yes you must report this to your PCP and alter the dose. If not it is unlikely that the rushing heart beat is related to thyroid but you must still see your PCP fairly soon.
